Yes, this is the normal behavior.  You must put content on the category 
page to prevent this--the content shows up at the top and the 
categorized articles underneath.  It's used to give a summary of what 
sorts of articles one would find in the category.  Try using &nbsp; (a 
non-breaking space) if you don't want to write a description right away.

Also, categorizing the category page (with [[Category:Parent cat]]) will 
only display the article list but not give the edit page when users 
click the link.
